Which are the different types of welding processes in steel structures and which one is the most common and affordable?
There could be broadly two types of corrective treatment: a. Support the concrete column with adjoining steel column ( an ISMB section will be better.), for ordinary house 12 feet height column, suggested steel ISMB is 250X 150 mm section. b. if column is found reparable, it is renovated with ‘ JackRead more
There could be broadly two types of corrective treatment:
a. Support the concrete column with adjoining steel column ( an ISMB section will be better.), for ordinary house 12 feet height column, suggested steel ISMB is 250X 150 mm section.
b. if column is found reparable, it is renovated with ‘ Jacketing ‘ around it. That is, scarp old peeling plaster, reach to reinforcing material, apply corrosive preventive liquids available from a good hardware store. Then, tie new reinforcement over the old reinforcement. Over it place 4-inch fresh cement concrete with aggregate of 12mm. Of course, steal or wooden scaffolding will be required.
It will increase the size of the column but will give strength to it.
BUT Note: if the column has already buckled down.. it is advisable to immediately get the help of an engineer and show him the site because if the column collapses, building or roof over it is in danger.

The most commonly used and Affordable welding is Stud Welding because it is cost-efficient.
The different types of Welding processes in steel structures are as follows:-
1. Stud Welding:- It involves the electric process of welding a fastener on a metal base by heating both the components with an arc.
2. Flux Core Welding:- this involves a consumable tubular electrode containing a flux and a constant voltage welding power supply. It’s A portable and fast welding process, and less-skilled workers can easily undergo this.
3. Shield metal arc welding (SMAW):- it involves a consumable fixed-length electrode covered with a flux, and an electric power source is used to weld two metals together. After the completion of this process, mineral coating flux Of electrode disintegrates and releases a gas Commonly known as Shielding gas, which saves joint from unfavorable atmospheric conditions.
